Another photo from the meadow, when we had such a lovely summer. Hours of fun spent crawling around on hands and knees, capturing bees going about their business!

Using a close-focus wide-angle lens, I was nearly touching the bee when I snagged this frame. Luckily, it was one of the big docile bumble bees who was happy to let me spy on them.
The fish-eye lens makes it feel like we were standing back from the flower, but if this were a normal lens, it would be obvious this is a macro shot.

Bee photos, these are becoming increasingly hard to get, especially here in Essex. Many of the gardens I visit have had a real decrease in numbers. On my walks into the countryside Buddleja, Thistle and other wild flowers there is hardly anything. Is there a cure?
The Rhododendrons are currently keeping the bees very busy. There's more blossoms this year than I've ever seen.
These are bees?
They are so busy ❤
"Wenn die Biene von der Erde verschwindet, dann hat der Mensch nur noch vier Jahre zu leben" – Schon Albert Einstein wusste um die Wichtigkeit der fleißigen Insekten.
"If the bee from the Earth disappears, then human has only four years to live" - even Albert Einstein knew the importance of the hard-working insects.
